 There are happy endings. I can think of a few but I had this location in mind from the first challenge. Did not get to shoot for that one, so it seems befitting to end with this one. Cheers!

------------------

Thank you all for your kind comments. Always appreciated. I've seen this scene from the BQE for the first time many years ago. Luckily I had my camera with me that day, and I was not the one driving:

The location always intrigued me. So thank you to DPC and my team for kicking me into gear.
